The inaugural event was a partnership between UFC GYM Kelowna, John Howard Society and United Way CSO who teamed up to combine social boxing, community involvement and old school Hollywood glamour for an unforgettable evening. The event took place at the Laurel Packinghouse and offered black tie dining from the talented chefs or standing room only tickets and cash bar. It was the time to look your best (dress up Old School Hollywood optional) while knowing that at the same time guess were giving back to your community.
